Abstract
Improved apparatus for supporting the pipeline of a center pivot irrigation system between adjacent mobile tower assemblies adapted to transport the pipeline over uneven terrain. The improved apparatus includes means for coupling a triangularly-shaped truss to the pipeline and establishing a fulcrum at an intermediate point on the truss side members to equalize the forces applied to the truss side members as the pipeline is transported over uneven terrain.
